find it profitable to cover up all kinds

riety of either black berries, raspberries
or grapes has yet been introduced, but
what will be more or less injured by our
severe winters. Our best varieties most
invariably will winter-kill. but by cover
ing we can raise the best as we'll as the
poorer fruits and raise larger crops be-
sides. Covering is not as much of a
job as many think it is. After you have
trimmed or pruned your berry or grape
vines, clean out the brush. Take man
with spade or shovel with you. One
takes hold of the vines or canes. pulling
while bending it slowly to the ground.
If the vine is stout or hard put one or
more shoselfuls of dirt close against the
vines or canes on the side you are bend
ing it to. This will prevent making too
short a bend and save breaking. Then
one holds them down while the other
throws dirt enough on the top ends TO
keep them down. When all are laid
down in that way, take your horse and
diamond pillow aud drive along on each
side of the row. throwing the dirt to
cover up. BY driving little fast you
can almost completely cover your vines.
Drive through between the rows till all
is piowed, leaving ditch in the middle.
Then take shovel, go along the row
and cover completely. all that has not
been covered by the pillow. Ia the
spring, when uncovering take your
horse and pillow again, blowing the re-
verse, throwing the ground from your
rows. Don't plow too closely up, so as
not to break the canes or vines.

The Pretty Girl.

The intelligence which is brought
to bear upon the study CO the master
pieces of English literature in the
clubs Of the land is illustrated often
enough, as anybody knows who has
investigated the subject; but it is
seldom that it takes so discOuraging a
form as that encountered by pro-
fessor who has been conducting a
fashionable Shakespeare club. After
he had expended infinite patience and
hardly less erudition upon the study
of ''Othello," the professor asked, in a
glow of dissatisfaction, if there were
any last questions anyone wished to
ask before another play was taken up.
His feelings may be imagined when u
very pretty girl, who had been very
close in her attention throughout the
entire course, inquired naively and
earnestly:
''But, Prof. what did he kill
Desdemona for? How could he be
angry with anybody SO sweets? -

boston Long Ago.

An Englishman visiting Boston in
1899 wrote as follows of some of his
observations:
''H you kiss n woman in public,
though offered as a courteous salu-
tation, if any information is given to
the select members both shall be
whipped or fined. But the good
humored lasses, to make you amends,
will kiss the kinder in a corner. A
captain of ship, who had been on
long voyage, happened to meet his
wife and kissed her in the street, for
which he was fined 10 shillings and
forced to pay the money. Another
inhabitant of the town was fined 10
shillings for kissing his own wife in
his garden, and obstinately refusing
to pay the money, endured twenty
lashes at the gun. At this rate one of
the delightful customs of the world
will in time be quite thrown out of
fashion, to the old folks satisfaction
but to the young ones lamentations,
who love it as well in New England
rs we do in the old"

servations and relations as follows:
Every tenth man is chosen as one
of the select, who have power together
to regulate and punish all disorders
that happen in their several neigh
borhoods. The penalty for drunken
ness IS whipping or crown; cursing
or swearing the same fine, or to be
bored through the tongue with hot
iron. But get your select member
into your company and treat him, and
you may do either without offense,
and be as safe as Il parishioner here in
tavern in the churchwarden's COM
pany in sermon time.
Another writer at n period one
hundred years later OzSS) pays the
following tribute to the people of
Boston town. He says:
1.-The Bostonians unite simplicity Of
morals with the French politeness,
and delicacy of manners which render
virtue more amiable. They are hos
pitable to strangers and obliging to
friends; they are tender husbands,
fond and almost idolatrous parents,
and kind masters. Music, which
their teachers formerly prescribed as
a diabolical art, begins to make part
of their education. In some houses
you hear the forte-piano. :.
The young women here enjoy the
liberty they do in England, that they
did in Geneva when morals were there
and the republic existed, and they do
not abuse it. Their frank and tender
hearts have nothing to fear from the
perfidy of men. Examples of this
pertidy are rare; the vows of love are
believed, and love always respects
them. or shame follows the guilty"

In CAMP and FIELD.
A MEDICAL MANS MEMORY
OF WARTIME.

Under the above heading we shall short
ly begin the publication of a series of Illus.
trated War Sketches, written by a private
soldier, by man who himself carried q
muslfet, and which will interest all readers,
both young and old, alike.
They are not devoted to a discussion or
criticism of men and methods, but in a
plain simple manner tell a soldiers story
from soldiers stand point.
They are rich in incident and valuable as
historical series, but yet invested with an
interest equal to that found in o tale of
fiction.
Don't miss the first number Of this re-
markable series. In reading them your
children will learn to love history and be-
come familiar with story every American
boy and girl ought TO read
There is nothing of bitter or sectional
feeling pervading the articles-that is in
the. shape Of opinion expressed by the
author, or in the spirit in which his nara
tive is written. In no sense does the author
obtrude his personal opinions, but narrates
facts, together with his own observations
as to what he as aprivate soldier saw and
experienced. The series will be appro-
priately illustrated; few specimen cuts
arc here with given.
